PHOENIX — Breanna Stewart had no doubt. From the moment she woke up Friday morning, the adrenaline already pumping through her veins, she knew the outcome of Game 3. She turned over in bed, grabbed her phone and texted her wife, Marta, two words: “I’m ready.” She certainly was. But when it mattered most, when their season was on the line, the Liberty needed more from her teammates. They couldn’t ... Read more

Their postseason dream ended, but the Sparks’ 2025 campaign may be their most underrated success.BT
They fell short on that goal, and are currently watching from the sideline (or from New York Fashion Week in the case of Rickea Jackson, or from the soccer pitch in the case of Julie Vanloo). While that shortfall is certainly disappointing to the coaches, players, and fans, the Sparks still finished a notable 21-23. The record is significant for two reasons. First, because the Sparks won more than double the ... Read more
